    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      I am on risperdal, xanax, effexor,nortriptiline, the risperdal keeps me from being manic but I gained 40lbs. So I am trying to lose that now. I tried getting off the risperdal but i went into super anxiety. I'am 53 on disibilty but am trying to find a part time job. I was first diagnosed when I was 24. I have been manic free for 5 years. Am working on the depression part now. I have a daughter and soninlaw who are very supportive of me.

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      I have a therapist after all these years who will talk to me daily if I have to. He will email me and make an appointment as soon as I need one. I really like him I have never had a therapist that is so uplifting and not putting me down.
    • Close Breast Cancer

      I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2004 had a mastectomy and reconstruction. The reconstruction isn't what I like so I am going to get another drs. opinion next week. I've had body image trouble even without cancer and this has made it worse. I just don't feel like the woman I was. Does anyone know how to accept the fact my breast is gone but I can still be a woman and feel feminine.
